Saturday evening and the shortest day of the year. What better time to check poetry programmes broadcast by the BBC in 1956 using the wonderful Programme Index?

Wandering around the streets of Trieste we came across a large photography exhibition. Turns out it was a retrospective of the wonderful work of the American photographer Steve McCurry. Really amazing work although I couldn’t help thinking about male gazes.
